The result of the data analysis to answer the questions is as follows: The 1th & 2nd Questions: Regression Analyze was used to answering these questions. These following regression equations were established between Organizational intelligence (OI) and Workforce agility (WFA): Y=89.90 + 0.55X. This means that adding one point to workforce agility, organizational intelligence score will increase by as much as three points, so we can claim that this regression is linear
The regression quotation indicated that organizational intelligence is a significant predictor of workforce agility and vice versa
Summary
New Product Development companies make their business by continuously introducing new, innovative products. Our focus was on the ICT companies. ICT has been faced with dual challenges of the rise and collapse of industry boundaries. Characteristic of this industry is fast change and complex systemic interactions (Doz & Kosonen, 2008). Organizational intelligence (OI) is a multidimensional and multifaceted concept involving the recursive interplay of cognitive, behavioral and emotional capabilities of organizations (Akgun, Byrne, & Keskin, 2007) to shape and change the environment and to adapt to its environment (Akgun et al, 2007). Organizational intelligence is not separate from the people who compose it and live in it (Akgun et al, 2007). In intelligent organization employees put their heads together to milk opportunities, co-create products and services, find and solve problems (Pinchot & Gifford, 1996)
